This is why overalls were invented. You’ll never convince me otherwise. Overalls are comfy, but more importantly, they let you carry animals around with you! What is your favorite brand of overalls? My favorite pair was from Harley Davidson, but the ones I'm wearing here are a pair from Tractor Supply. Whatever the brand, they are great for carrying small dogs/puppies and kittens that are cool with hanging out with you. It keeps them close, makes them feel safe, and let's you move around freely while still holding your pet. I've even carried a baby opossum and a baby racoon in my overalls before.

Going on week 2 of wanting to scratch my skin off and no sleep because I itch soooooo bad. Y’all, I got poison ivy from my cat! I was wearing shorts and a tank top and went outside where my cat, Curly Sue, came up for pets. He had cactus in his head so I sat down on the porch and held him in my lap, getting cactus out of his head. A day later I was covered from head to toe in red itchy blistery bumps and my skin was on fire. Went to the doctor and as I suspected they agreed it was poison ivy. Got a shot, got some pills, got some anti-itch cream and nothing works. Took a bath in Epsom salt. Tried Calamine Lotion, too. It's healing but it is taking soooooo long to go away. I’ll be up all night watching election stuff which is about as much fun as my poison ivy.

If you are looking for a place to build and manage your website, your funnels, your email, your blog, your landing pages, and so much more then I have the answer for you. Check out Phantom using my link below and I promise you are going to be amazed at everything it does all in one place. With these other places, you have to buy tons of add-on services to manage the different pieces of your business. Phantom does almost everything.... I am in love with it. I already use it for some of my other sites, but I am in the process of moving Koutz Farm's website over because the other hosting companies were so expensive for what I wanted to do, then adding in all the plugins and extra services - it was too much. So I'm putting all my sites in one place, and some of them I've just turned into sales funnels with landing pages. As of right now, f you navigate to my Koutz Farm site or store you will notice it being down or in transition. I'll let you know when it is all permanently moved and ready to go. This one is a keeper and has so many features!
Here is my link so you can get started:

I use Phantom for EVERYTHING in my business! It's a one-stop shop for all business needs, especially if you are a beginner! Before Phantom, I tried everything on the market and failed because there was always another system you had to add to get your system up and running. And let's be honest, that....

A year later (about) - me and this guy are finally friends. Took about 8 months - seems like that is how long it has taken with each feral that has come along that actually stuck around. When he first came you couldn’t touch him and he’d scream and scratch you. He attacked me more than once. Now I can pick him up, flip him over, rub his belly, and give him lots of cuddles. His name is O.B. (Oreo boy).

Excuse my tired and sad look, my dehydrated and unrested skin, my unruly hair. I’ve lost a lot of animal friends in the last few months and among other things related to health, family, etc. ….I have been a bit stressed and in survival mode a while. This picture is my last picture of Lucky. Lucky was in our very first set of chickens we got when we moved out here in 2016. She was the only survivor of the great chicken massacre of 2016 and we learned and tried again. Lucky the Australorp is featured in a lot of my photography I sell on iStock and on my website. I’m gonna miss her, she was a great hen. We had to say goodbye to her a few days ago, and I have a couple more older chickens that are going to start passing away over the next few months. I sometimes hate my heart for getting soooooo attached to them all because even for my chickens, it makes me sad. 😢. I can’t live without my animals in my life though - they are part of my soul. See you later Lucky, my beautiful 🤩 star of Koutz Farm.
